CIVIL WAR Era SCARCE Antique LUCIUS W. POND .32 Caliber RF Pocket Revolver
Patent Infringement Revolver Sued by SMITH & WESSON
Description: CIVIL WAR Era SCARCE Antique LUCIUS W. POND .32 Caliber RF Pocket Revolver Patent Infringement Revolver Sued by SMITH & WESSON Here we present an antique Lucius W. Pond Belt/Pocket Spur Trigger Revolver, manufactured circa 1863 in Worcester, Massachusetts. This Civil War era single action revolver was the subject of a patent infringement lawsuit in 1862, by Pond, of the Rollin White Patent from 1855, which was owned by Smith and Wesson. The court ruled in favor of Smith and Wesson. However, Pond, along with Bacon, Moore, and Warner (who were also found infringing on the patent) were able to continue producing the Belt Revolver on the grounds that they would be marked “Manuf’d for Smith & Wesson Pat’d April 3, 1855”. The final run of 4,486 were marked as the court demanded, with production ending in 1870. This revolver is similar to the S&W Model No. 2 in several ways, including the tip up barrel design for loading and unloading. However, the Pond’s hinge is located at the rear of the frame and is more robust, making it less prone to wobble. The overall condition is good. The action partially functions, as the cylinder does not index. Some shimmer remains leaving the bore good for its age. Good grips. Numbers match. Legible markings. Nickel finish on the frame has been preserved. The lanyard ring is absent. Here is a great looking, scarce Pond Revolver with Smith & Wesson markings and history! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-3/4 inches. Caliber: .32 Rimfire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #230422 SOLD Antique: Yes |
